Got 4 packs left, leaving last one unopened in my pocket ,till don't need no more... ;)
Best way to do it! Total mind $&/@! If you have them it’s okay! If you don’t that’s all you think about! I smoked 2 packs every day for 30 years and quit 4 years ago! I did use a vape to help quit but it worked.. bad news.. I still use that stupid vape today :face-with-rolling-eyes:

They said the same thing about the Boiler Room position I took.

Turned out I was the only qualified job bidder.

The thing that clinched it? "I don't care about temperature and I don't flinch when things break" was my opening line in the interview.
So interview for the rigs got asked if i was afraid of heights i said no what do you need me to climb and anything you need me to bring up they had me climb the old derrick in the yard so i did tied a rop around a bunch of tools and went after it.... didnt even think about anything just did it....needless to say i got called crazy and got the job my dumb butt forgot to grab a harness...got asked at my current job how i did with hot things said it didnt bug me at all had to throw a hot weld on a coil in a 800 degree oven to fix a heater coil for tempering glass....got the job sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do

Kind of a curse, actually, because now they know I can fix literally anything in the boiler room, so who's the first person they 'volunteer' for the repairs?

quitting? :D good for you dude!
Yeah, well, I was quitting reefing too... then I bought 3k worth of new gear...

I don't hold much hope in the 'stopping things I enjoy' arena, but I'm starting to not like smoking anymore... burns up too much of my time.

Tell me about it i have to do all the ceramic roll hot swaps cool oven to 600 degrees and pull a roll that could potentially melt through your body if you touch the ceramic thank god for metal end caps which would still mess you up pretty bad if not done right
